Powder coating is a finishing process that maintains the binder and filler components in a liquid suspension state. This technique generally involves applying a dry, free-flowing powder to a surface electrostatically and subsequently curing it through the application of heat or ultraviolet light.
The primary types of powder coatings are thermoset and thermoplastic. Thermoset materials are predominantly utilized in most powder coating processes due to their ability to create a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface layer. The primary coating methods include electrostatic spray and the use of the fluidized bed, which are applied in various sectors such as appliances, automotive, architectural applications, furniture, agriculture, construction, earthmoving equipment (ACE), general industrial purposes, and other relevant industries.

The powder coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $20.51 billion in 2024 to $22.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to durability and corrosion resistance, industrial and manufacturing applications, automotive industry, architectural and building materials.
The powder coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and low environmental impact, renewable energy infrastructure, automotive sector expansion, customized and functional coatings. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, smart coatings, nanotechnology integration, bio-based powder coatings.
The powder coatings market is anticipated to experience significant growth, driven by the increasing demand in the construction sector. The construction industry, encompassing a wide array of activities related to infrastructure and building planning, design, construction, renovation, and maintenance, serves as a substantial market for powder coatings. These coatings are frequently applied to architectural elements like aluminum and steel window frames, doors, railings, and curtain wall systems. They offer a durable, weather-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish that enhances the visual appeal of buildings. For instance, in July 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024, reflecting a notable rise in construction activity and investment in the sector. This remarkable growth in the construction sector is a key driver behind the expansion of the powder coatings market.
The powder coatings market is also set to benefit from the increasing demand in the automobile sector. The automobile industry, which encompasses various businesses and institutions engaged in vehicle creation, production, marketing, and sales, represents another significant market for powder coatings. These coatings find application in coating exterior body panels like car hoods, fenders, and doors, providing a smooth, durable, and corrosion-resistant finish that not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also shields it from environmental elements. For example, in 2023, the global automotive sector demonstrated significant growth, with total vehicle production reaching 93,546,599 units, marking a substantial increase from the 85,016,728 units produced in 2022, as reported by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), a France-based international trade association of automobile manufacturers. Therefore, the growth in the automobile sector plays a pivotal role in driving the expansion of the powder coatings market.
Companies are increasingly focusing on new coating technologies designed for heat-sensitive substrates like medium-density fiberboard (MDF). These technologies operate at lower temperatures during the curing process, leading to reduced energy consumption compared to conventional methods. One such innovation is IGP-RAPID by IGP, which relies on new raw materials and IGP technology to enable low-temperature powder coatings at 266°F (130°C) with curing times as short as 3 minutes. This approach is not only eco-friendly but also enhances product design while providing long-term functional protection.
Leading companies in the powder coatings market are prioritizing the development of sustainable metallic powder coatings that incorporate patented stabilized particulate technology. This innovation enhances durability, improves environmental performance, and reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, all while ensuring high-quality finishes. Patented stabilized particulate technology involves an advanced method of modifying and stabilizing particles within the coating material, enabling better control over particle distribution and performance. For example, in September 2024, Akzo Nobel N.V., a Netherlands-based company, introduced Interpon D Natural Metals, a line of metallic powder coatings. These coatings are VOC-free, reflecting AkzoNobel's commitment to sustainability by reducing environmental impact during application and offering a healthier alternative for users. The new range includes a wide array of colors, featuring metals such as copper, brass, steel, and silver, providing architects and designers with the aesthetic flexibility of real metal finishes without the associated challenges.
